Everyone has been fantastic. The entire event feels like the Olympics- people proudly showing the colors of their home, but all uniting as one Rotary International. I'm very, very impressed with this event, and highly recommend to any Rotarian out there- you should attend a convention! It's amazing!

The wonderful and prompt coverage gives us a view of what we are missing and makes us feel at least happy that we have access to quick information!! Thank you!
